What are the odds for OSXLatitude supporting the ASUS UX31A Zenbook Prime for running Hackintosh?

The price (1400EUR) is fairly high for a UX31A-R4003V, but the specsheet is much better than a Macbook Air .. and to die for:

- Intel Core i7 3517U
- Intel Mobile HM76
- Intel HD Graphics
- 13" Full HD 1080p IPS panel
- 256GB SSD

MacBook Air comparison: http://blog.laptopma...31a-the-rematch
MacBook Retina comparison: http://forums.macrum...d.php?t=1396676 ... hmz they're talking about a Asus UX32VD-DB71 as well. Same CPU for 1100EUR, swapping out the HDD for SSD & throwing in 10GB of RAM. Check how





F*cking AWESOME! But can it run OSX?

Hey champ, dead link.. find my a guy who have it.. and i can look into integrating it into EDP.

I was planing to add support for Samsung 900X3C as the first ultrabook.

Sure: http://zenbook.asus....k/?c=prime_ux32

Just for the record. The USA model is called DB71. It's identical to the European R4002V. There are two other UX32 models; don't get them! No discrete graphics, plus poor i3 and i5 performance.

I can waste countless hours on researching what I could be buying next, or just buy it so just ordered an UX32VD-R4002 + Corsair 8GB memory expansion and 128GB Samsung 830 SSD.

And while at it ... HP Laserjet Pro P1102W (with support for Apple Airprint). The Office is paying for it anyway Having a home based global business is awesome

It works. I have a UX21A. You may want to check this thread:

Still many Fn key and trackpad issues, and you need to switch out your wireless network card. I have sleep issues--and my laptop does too :-), but that's because I haven't customized my DSDT file--hoping OSXLatitude can help.
